If a lifter has collapsed or its roller has seized, the matching lobe can wear quickly. Clean the oil pan and pickup screen thoroughly, and check oil pressure, to make sure debris does not damage the new camshaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing the Right Lifters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new camshaft should always be fitted with new lifters. On engines with cylinder deactivation, some lifter positions use special deactivation lifters, while the others use standard lifters. Make sure you use the correct type for each position, together with the matching lifter guides. Using worn or incorrect lifters can quickly damage a new camshaft and lead to noise or misfires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Camshaft Is For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 12629698 camshaft suits engine rebuilders, independent workshops working on GM trucks and SUVs, and experienced owners who have confirmed the part number for their engine.
